Some family members are close. Some just cross the line. One woman says her cousin's idea of a joke wrecked her hearing aids, cost her thousands, and led to a court battle that ended in wage garnishment—and now, somehow, she's the one the family's angry with.
The post appeared in r/AITAH, where Reddit users weigh in on morally messy situations. The original poster explained that at her grandmother's birthday party, her cousin—25 and often treated as the "golden child" in the family—decided it would be funny to throw her into the pool to mess up her freshly styled hair. She says she told him clearly, multiple times, not to do it.
